How We Met

I am a Baptist Pastor who grew up with horses on the farm. With the birth of my grandchildren I wanted them to be able to experience the same kind of life. One of my dear friends in the church knew this and gave the choice of colts between her four mares in foal. Jullie was that choice and it has been wonderful ever since..

Fancy is leaving a vote with an important request for a dear friend in a tough time♥

Please take a precious moment and visit a friend who has lost a dear member of her herd&hearts. Darling #142763 is no longer galloping across these earthly fields or winning ribbons with her girl, she will be missed by her human family, horse herd family, and her HorseChannel family. Her horse herd family members are Pops #142258 and Big Boy #142835.

FANCY'S PERCEPTIONS: TAKE NOTHING FOR GRANTED! Our Creator shall continue to dwell above the sky, and that is where those on earth will end their thanksgiving.(Seneca)

PLEASE Vote Fancy for VHS contest Baby Face;~

PLEASE VOTE DECEMBER HOTM;~) Beauty #181026 Navajo #119353

Q: Can a turkey jump higher than the Empire State Building? A: Yes, A building can't jump at all!

Q: How do you keep a turkey in suspense? A: I'll let you know next week!

Gotta Saturday Night vote for you! I hope you have had as much fun as we have today! Today was bath day for Fancy. After her bath my son (on his bike) and I hand walked Fancy around the block. We let her graze before going home. I saddled Fancy and I rode her around the neighborhood and through the car wash:), while my son rode his bike. She surprised me by walking sooo slow the whole time. I couldn't believe it. I didn't even have to fight with her to go into our yard. She was just layed back and easy going! I was just surprised! I took tons of photos with my clean girl. Now she smells fresh too! I hated to put her into her corral. I hope she doesn't roll tonight:( I will see about that in the morning, LOL.

I entered Fancy in the Virtual Horse/Baby Face contest. Please vote for her.

FANCY'S PERCEPTIONS: A city slicker moves to the country and decides he's going to start farming. He goes to the local farmer and says,"Give me 100 baby chickens." The farmer complies. A week later the man returns and says,"Give me 200 baby chickens." The farmer complies again. Another week goes by and the man returns and this time he says,"Give me 500 baby chickens." "Wow!", the farmer replies. "You must really be doing well." "Naw", said the man with a sigh."I'm either planting them too deep or too far apart!"

Good Morning vote from Fancy and Frances♥ How are you today, did you have a nice weekend?

I would like to keep my Fancy shoe free, so I am considering purchasing hoof boots for Fancy. If anyone has any experience with these, please let me know about that. I would like to know about the ease of putting them on, if they come off easily in mud, how long they last, if they rub sores on the horses coronet or other area, did they have any effect on the hoof itself, do you think they are a good investment, and just any info you can share. If you have anything to share or not I would like to personally thank you for giving me your attention and let you know I appreciate every friendly member I have met here. You are top notch horse lovers, the greatest! Have a Beautiful Day, Be Blessed♥

Fancy moving on by with your vote tonight♥ Are you riding this weekend? I hope you are having fun what ever you are doing:)

Ok, I hope EVERYONE is enjoying a great weekend! I have had an aweful week with my son being sick and personal issues. But as always my Fancy time has made all the bad things seem so small. God knows I love that little horse. I really need my horse. She is my blessing. Today was the first time we rode out with Tirnanog! I was going to keep MISS Pants behind Tirnanog. Hoping she would settle down and walk slow. Tirnanog walks very slow and relaxed. Nothing seemed to phase him today. Well MISS Pants wasn't going for any slow walking mess. So I let her go and every now and then we would circle back and around Tirnanog, So we don't get too far ahead. I convinced her to walk through a few muddy water puddles in some driveways. We walked through the car wash, didn't get a wash though, LOL. Had fun stepping up a bank with a cement wall. Fancy has done this with out me on her. Today we did it together. Only problem, when we step down into the street, the last few times Fancy would jump instead of walk. Tirnanog was soo cool he just stepped up and down very easy like. The only thing that bothered Fancy today was a loud dirt bike. The guy saw her reaction and I was very thankful he turned and went the other way. My brother said he isn't to ride those on the streets any way. We stopped and let them graze for at least an hour and we stopped and talked to children and other people too. Fancy was attracted to the children. I was very impressed with her good behavior with them. Don't know how our future rides will be, but this one was a well needed breath of fresh air. I told my brother to get things ready so we can visit some state parks this fall. I think that will be even more fun!!!

Fancy is stopping by with a late Monday night vote. Sunday proved to be a nice day for us. Sunday evening I rode Fancy in the back yard AND for the first time ever, I rode her all the way around the first block up the street. We only did it once, but it was FUN!

We did nothing today and probably won't do anything tomorrow, it is cloudy and rainy here. We do need the rain:)

It's a nice day for a vote from Fancy to Julliette:) We had a very pleasant weekend. How about you? Are you riding Julliette now? I have ridden Fancy a few times. Now we are advancing to riding in the back yard:)

Fancy and Frances are stopping by to leave a vote for you today in hopes that you are enjoying this holiday:) We hope every one is enjoying family and loved ones this Memorial holiday and remembering the ones we salute and honor for their service. Also, PLEASE take a moment to help a friend through an extremely tough time. At 24 years old, Casper didn't make it through an illness May 27, 2010. Please visit Casper profile #145367 and leave an encouaraging word for his owner who is completely broken by this loss. Please also visit Creole profile #145540, she was his younger pasture mate and depended upon him for leadership and support. Love to each friend here at HorseChannel!!!

FANCY'S PERCEPTIONS: "SHOW ME YOUR HORSE AND I WILL TELL YOU WHO YOU ARE" (unknown

Fancy is leaving you a Friday vote with a little humour to start your wonderful weekend!!!

FANCY'S PERCEPTIONS: Dear Horse Owner:

Are you experiencing too many second and third finishes behind enferior horses at horse shows? During a trail ride, does your horse forget everything he was bred to do?

Well, this simple chain letter is meant to bring relief and happiness to you. Unlike most chain letters, it doesn't cost any money.

Simply send a copy to six other horse owners who are dissatisfied with the way that their horse is behaving. Also, bundle up your horse and send him/her to the horse owner at the top of list. Do not use a return adress or the post office may try to contact you.

In one week you should receive 16,436 horses, and at least one of them should be a keeper.

Have faith in this. Do not break the chain. One owner broke the chain and got his own horse back.

Tuesday afternoon vote for ya. I groomed Fancy this morning and cleaned her stall before I fed her. Now it's after 1pm and it's snowing pretty hard.

I won't be posting me brother's yearling filly after all. This man couldn't feed all of his horses, so he gave my brother a yearling last month. My brother lost his job so he gave her to a friend. Right now she is sick, only eating a little and sometimes she won't stand up. He had a vet check her and said to make a sling to hold her up and keep trying to feed her.

Fancy and Frances are leaving you a vote on this wild wintery Wednesday! Rain and snow mix today in Lex! But it's ok because we are expecting 50 degrees this weekend! Some have asked Who's in my photo? That is my middle son, my youngest son, me and of course, my Fancy ;)

If you have time please visit and look at the videos of me working with Fancy and let me know how you think we are doing, there are 2. If you enlarge them they get blurry. The link is http://www.flickr. com/photos/rowdicowgirl65- / (there are no dashes in the link)

FANCY'S PERCEPTIONS: THE COWBOY MUST NEVER SHOOT FIRST, HIT A SMALLER MAN, OR TAKE UNFAIR ADVANTAGE (anonymous)

Fancy stopping by with a soaking wet at home vote for you. Thanks for returning the visit and vote. Do You have any horsey plans this weekend in spite of the rain? We don't have any plans, it is soggy here. I have never seen sooo much rain in one season. Well, have a great, wet but happy weekend!

here is a vote for Julliettehey thanks for voting while i was gone! i wish our school had a rodeo team. there is rumors that we are getting one but i'm not sure about it. ~~~well you know i'm not one for c/p. in fact this is the 1st time i've ever c/p. but with only one (left) hand that isnt hurt, you'd understand. haha! ok its a long story so lets make it short. we had a great time at the barrel clinic. our first run was a 17.3, which was ok. then pedros back was sore on day 2 and had to ride one of the clinic's horses, which confused me b/c he went to the left instead of right like pedro. then the 3rd day i had to ride the other horse (a gorgeous palimino named albert) for the morning. pedro got out of his stall 2x! then he was trying to get out a 3rd time and pretty much jammed my hand when i leaned it up against a rail to push him back and he pushed my elbow and i heard popping and it hurt soo bad. pedro's back wasnt sore anymore so i got to ride him in the race, even with a hurt (possibly broke) arm. and it was the best time me or pedro had ever run! our record before that had been a 17.0. my arm hurt so bad but i forgot all about it when i went in the gate! i was soo proud of pedro. soo sorry this is c/p and is so long!

What sort of training are you planning on doing with your horses? I have been riding lots lately and loving it. Thanks I think Fox is very pretty too, but then I am biased. Heres a vote for the pretty Julliette.

Hey!!!! :) Sorry I really haven't been blogging in a while. I sometimes accidently skip one or two people when I go down the list and reply to blogs. I love the pictures!!! I'm going to probly load up some new pictures soon. It's been raining alot here. The rain is depressing but it has benefitted me too. I got to ride Big Grey today!!! It has been a while!!! The last time I rode him was winter!!! It felt good to get back in that huge saddle with the oversized stirrups. I hate the rain though because Grey's favorite food ever is called reserection fern. Reserection fern grows on trees and looks like moss. It looks like its dead but it turns green when water hits it. This stuff is growing on every tree!!! I did not have a muzzle on Grey and I regret it I should know that when it rains USE A MUZZLE!!! For that reason. I could not get him moving!!! From tree to tree all he wanted to do is eat this fern!!! Then when we were in the field he picked up a plant with dirt, roots and all. He started swinging it around and circling and moving it back and forth. He got dirt all over his face and then turned to me and dropped it on my jeans. He was trying to share with me. It rained alot today and I got soaking wet like 4 times. Our tack room stinks!!! From wet saddles and sweaty pads/girths. I sliped and fell in the tack room in front of everyone that works there and Grey's big saddle hit my head. I think its bruised inside. Then I give Grey a really nice bath and make him smell like flowers. He rolled in his stall and got shavings all over himself. I guess he was itchy and wanted to get them off and was trying to pick them off of himself so I pulled him back out of his stall and hosed him off again. It took forever. I fed him and gave him some Nerds(his favorite candy)and carrots. We had fun today. Tommorrow is camp so we tryed to shove all of our girths and saddle pads in the washer and it stalled out so then we had to take half of them out and they were all soapy. Grey was very tired today at the end of the day he was yawning like crazy!!! I wore him out!!! I hope that they don't work him too hard tommorrow. He deserves a break since he worked everyday last week. talk to you soon, Here's a vote!!!~ ~Big Grey and Shay!!! :)

***Please vote for Ty. He is a 13 year old American paint horse gelding who has not won horse of the day yet.He has been a member for 26 days. *** Please vote for Cola. HSe is a Paint horse also. She is Brown and White. Her owner is busy taking care of her and her families other horses, so she doesn't have time to come on all the time. She would really love to see her horse win horse of the month.
